Liberal Studies 301
Contemporary Global Issues and Problems (3 credits)
This course explores
the ethical and religious dimensions of several global challenges in
contemporary international society: (1) the expanding role of religion as a
motivation for violence as well as a force for justice and peace; (2) the
increasing deterioration of the global environment; (3) international efforts to
protect human rights in countries where there is systematic oppression or
genocide; and (4) the chronic gap in wealth between rich and poor nations.
